...SNIPPED...These 'phones seem to make lesser sources sound really good. For some reason these sound pretty bad on my EF2A, yet I find them very enjoyable on my DAPs and they even make my terrible integrated sound somewhat clear. . . . the crappier the source the better with these! So strange. . . SNIPPED...

Man, this is the exact opposite of what I feel I have discovered. The crappier the source [in my case, low quality LAME rips] the worse the sound. With LAME v2, v0 or even better, FLAC, the Panas really shine for me.

I thought I was crazy but then I read most of the Pana threads on that other site and found others seemed to observe the same "garbage in garbage out" phenomenon.
